Hardly the end of film, just the end of a GREAT film! [SOB!]
Loved both 25 and 64, the latter being my primary film for sports
photography, producing awesome images (including a couple of national
magazine covers).

Kodak Elite 100 is very good, but not the same. [SIGH]

A few years ago I got out all my old slides and scanned them. I was surprised to find that the old original Kchrome (8 Weston, 12 GE--before ASA or ISO) showed no deterioration with age, while the later, faster versions showed color shift, some almost to the point of being unusable. What really surprised me was that all the others, home-processed Fujichrome had survived better than the newer Kcrhomes and home-processed Ektachromes all being roughly the same age. Some of the Ektas were completely unusable, even as a family record. There were a couple of rolls of commercially processed Agfachrome that had also stood up well, but too small a sample for me a general statement.
